I was trying to fight the urge to bawl, but I gave in. Between sobs I stated, "Let's go."

But before we left, we had one more task to complete. We had to bury Max.

Fang's POV

Burying Max was about the hardest thing I've ever done.

The others have offered to help, but I told them no. This is something I need to do alone.

It took me three hours to dig the hole by a blooming, beautiful tree I picked out. Just like Max.

Of course Max is not a tree, but she was just as beautiful, strong, and blooming.

Everything.

I washed her face before I put her in the silent grave, and just sat there. Staring at her beautiful eyes looking blankly back at me. They were never that way, I thought to myself as tears welled in my eyes. I let them fall as I looked at her brown irises. With a great deal of will, I scooted myself up and closed her eyelids. Other than the bloodstains all over her clothes, and her ghostly white figure rigid still, she looked like she was sleeping.

The waterworks started again. Anger boiled inside as I stared at the angel in front me. Ari is going to regret living on this earth, I silently promised myself. I'll make sure of it. He took everything from me. My house, my courage, my purity. My Max.

"EVERYTHING!" I screamed out loud. I set myself down and buried my face in my hands, sobbing.

Iggy's POV

No one moved. No one breathed. Everyone cried. I could hear Fang screaming in the distance. Poor guy.

I just stared off into space, thinking about her.

I didn't love her like a guy/girl thing. But I remembered her laugh, her scream. Tears started to well in my blind eyes, but I wiped them away. Not in front of the kids. Her gasp of pain as my bloodstained fingers gently grazed over her wound. I could remember it….

I caught her from 200 feet above the trees, and felt her dead weight against me. Oh my God, Oh my God, I said as Nudge directed me to the ground. Her scream of pain echoed throughout the jungle as I ever so gently laid her on the ground. I felt blood seep through the ground as I gently grazed her wounds. She screamed, grabbing my hands and throwing them on the ground. "Geez, Max, what's your prob-" I stopped, horrified at myself. As if she needed any of that! I mean, she was on her deathbed. I know. I felt her wounds It punctured deep, and through her skin through her back. There was no hope. She already lost a lot of blood. There wasn't much time.

I felt Fang drop beside me, screaming for Max. I stayed exactly where I was. I could feel his pain. I mean, me, Fang, and Max had known each other since forever. To the others, we were practically ancient. And Max wouldn't live to see her 15th birthday…

Then she died.

It was bad for everyone, but they didn't feel her die. I did. I felt her shaky vibrations that I've felt for so long suddenly stop. It was about the worst thing I've ever felt…

Fang's POV

I took my shovel and started to throw any access dirt over Max's frame. I was screaming now, screaming at Ari, at Max, at the school. You couldn't imagine the pain I was feeling. When I couldn't see her cold, beautiful body anymore, I completely lost it. I screamed in agony as I threw the shovel against the tree, breaking it easily. I unfolded my dark wings and flew up to the tallest tree in the whole forest, about a mile away. When I got there, I just sat and cried. "MAX! WHY'D YOU GO!? WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME!? I yelled into the harsh air. I put my weight heavily against the tree as I slid down to the branch I was standing on.

I don't know how long I was there, just crying. Then I realized something. I couldn't be sitting here crying. I have to be out doing. Crying like this made me look practically insane. I had to kill Ari. Now. But then I heard someone talking to me, so distant I thought I almost imagined it."Fang, I'm here. I'm right here," it whispered.

Max's POV

WHAT DO YOU MEAN VOICE? AND IF YOU DON'T ANSWER, I'M GOING TO…BASH YOU AGAINST THE WALL!

No answer from Jeb. I thought I heard a chuckle, but since the voice displayed no emotion whatsoever, I cast my assumption away.

How can I come alive again? Is this some kind of sick joke the voice is playing on me? But wait, the voice never lies. It's telling the truth. But how?

I've been watching Fang, my Fang, for hours. I saw him digging my grave, screaming, completely losing it. As I sat there, watching him, I cried. I mean, I've never thought I could cause anyone so much pain. I've never loved anyone, even Sam back at Anne's. I've always loved Fang more than anyone on this whole freaking planet. And now I knew he loved me to. And I was dead. Not the best way to confess your feelings to another, huh?

I've tried talking to him, punching him, hitting him, screaming at him. But he didn't flinch, didn't flicker, and didn't even blink.

But somehow, I have to talk to him. Before it's too late.

"FANG!!" I screamed. No reply. But of course, that was the moment he completely lost it. He screamed in agony, and threw a shovel against the tree he was burying me under, breaking it easily. I covered my mouth, gasping. He was in so much pain. He flew up to the tallest tree and screamed as loud as he could my name. "MAX! WHY'D YOU GO!? WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME!?" He pounded his fist once against the tree and slid onto the branch he was standing on. He just sat there, crying.

I couldn't bear this any longer. I cautiously put myself on the same branch and touched his cheek. "Fang, I'm here. I'm right here." I whispered in his ear. And he looked straight at me.
